Amid rebel cries and cheers by Bulldog fans during the Georgia border bash versus University of South Carolina, Mutemath took the stage on the “quieter” side of town at the Athens, GA 40 Watt for a unbelievable set. With songs off the new album “Odd Soul” and the same blood-pumping stage performance, Mutemath didn’t disappoint fans in the packed venue.

Bob Weir and Phil Lesh, formerly of the Grateful Dead, bring their new act, Further, to Atlanta’s Tabernacle. Outside, the fans thronging to the show seem not to have been told that the Dead is no more, many bearing signs such as “I Need A Miracle” in hopes of scoring a free ticket.

Lenny Kravitz | Tabernacle | Atlanta | November 2009

Celebrating 20 years since his album “Let Love Rule,” Kravitz’ tour stops through Atlanta’s Tabernacle for a funky evening that revisited some of his greatest material. Photographs from the November 6 show at Atlanta’s Tabernacle are below.

This shoot really revealed that it’s time to focus on getting a second body for shooting rock concerts. Kravitz’ dynamic performance and stage coverage demanded switching between wide angle and zoom lenses–switching back and forth on the lone Canon 30D wasn’t cutting it. I sensed this after the U2 show at the Georgia dome, and after a review of my images showed a lack of variety due to lens selection I was convinced.

U2 brought the famed 360 Tour to Atlanta, GA on October 6, 2009 behind their latest album, No Line On The Horizon. Nesting the newly designed “claw” stage in the Georgia Dome, U2 rolled through town with 120 trucks of equipment and one helluva show. Designed to give the entire audience a more intimate experience by creating the feeling of proximity, the show was truly a spectacle.

Images from the U2 concert in Atlanta are below, as well as online at BLURT Magazine’s website.

Snow Patrol illuminated the Tabernacle with a bold display of light and sound for their Take Back The Cities tour across the United States. The band was apparently not-so-fresh from a show in Nashville, TN (aka Nashvegas) as front man Gary Lightbody admitted that the band’s collective hangover was getting a cure from the audience. Photos are taken at the Atlanta convert in October 2009. Photography by Colin Smith, 2009.
